Is Rampardos good in Pokemon GO?

|---|---|---|---|
| Lv 20 → 40 | 135,000 | 15 | — |
Tier B at rank #19 makes Rampardos a useful Rock-type filler rather than an endgame pick. Build one if your Rock bench is thin, but keep the XL Candy for something stronger.
- Attack is its highest stat (295), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
- A second charged move costs 75,000 Dust and 75 Candy, and with 3 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Shadow Rampardos deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Partly Cloudy weather — worth timing raids around.
